Israel's NSO showcases anti-drone tech
Introducing: an anti-drone system
Location: Tel Aviv, Israel
Spyware company NSO showcased
new tech that can intercept drones
and take control mid-air
NSO says more than ten countries
have bought the new system
to safeguard sites like energy facilities
(SOUNDBITE) (English) NSO'S PRODUCT MANAGER, OREN GANZ, SAYING:
"Once the drone will get into the no-fly zone that was defined in the system, the system will start working on taking the communication stream of that specific drone and land it in a safe area. That process of taking the communication stream instead of the original operator and landing it in the safe area might take a few seconds."
